A Few Remarks Apropos of the Melting
g and Sticky Weather.
When these lines meet the eyes of oui
readers the season will be sufficiently adj
vanced to justify them in discussing the
warm weather.
In fact, it is not bit too early right now
in his hat to ward off sunstroke. The dog
day weather, which sticketh closer than a
brother, is at hand.
Various explanations are given for the
unprecedented heat which people complain
of year after year. The fiend who asked
you last winter whenever he met you if il
was cold enough for you now bobbeth
serenely up and wants to know, rs this hot
enough for your Il is useless to shoot
him with bird shot. Nothing short of a
cannonywills make dent in him. To avoid
hearing that dreadful question q man would
be justified in wearing ear-muffs in July.
The best description Of extreme warm
weather was given by lady at a watering
place. It seemed to her as II breaths were
sold at auction and everybody was able TO
outbid you.
Still there are compensations. Your wife,
ifyou have one, never hints about a seaiskin
sacque. You feel under obligations to the
man who gives you freezing reception, and
even the, at other times. exasperating "cOld,
dull star" is cause for gratitude The man
who wants soft thing at this season need

This is the season when The humorous
friend comes hurriedly into the sanctum and
tells the editor that the sun was so hot yester-
day that cake of ice which the iceman was
taking into store caught fire while he was
crossing the sidewalk. He says. too, that he
has observed a decline in paper collars,
especially of the stand-up variety And yet
such people are never sunstruck ! How
mysterious are the ways of Providence. He
is usually the Identical visitor who having
left the door open after him all winter, now
carefully closes it.-Tszas Strings.

thrust through the crown. Worn with a
black lace toilet Nr one of silk and jet, this
would be very elegant. The gloves, fan and
other etceteras of the toilet must match,
and, if worn in the daytime, to fetes, recep-
tions, &C., parasol Of black lace lined with
straw color may be added, tied ON the handle
and top with yellow velvet or satin bows.
The plain, tightftting coat sleeve that
has been in vogue so long is giving way to
the full sleeve, and the latest fashion ap-
pears to be sleeve with a full puff from the
shoulder to the elbow. In the costume
illustrated srbinh Ia made of golden brown
cameIs hair and checked silk in several
shades of brown, such a sleeve is shown,
though, contrary to the rule, the puff Is
slashed and second color introduced.
Generally. the puff matches the dress bod
ice and the lower part of the sleeve the
waistcoat, though in many cases this order
is reversed.
In the present instance the basque, sleeve
and drapery are of the plain goods, and the
skirt fronts and revers are of checked silk.
The puff let into the sleeve is of plain brown
surah, finished with rosette bow of check,
and the vest, inside the checked revers, is
also plain surah The bonnet is brown

An Eap,e,s Nest.

The Vallejo tCal) Chronicle says: An
eagles nest was broken up on T. F. Tobin's
ranch, near the White Sulphur Springs, the
other day. One of the old eagles was shot !;
the other got away. Two young ones were
in the nest which was built in large oak
tree, and one of them, jumping out, was
killed by the dogs. The other was captured
and brought to town, and is now curiosity
about three weeks old, It is larger than a
common fowl. 1t cannot fly or walk, but
in its beak and claws it has great strength.
When full grown it will measure from six
to eight feet from tip to tip. The eagles are
very destructive to lambs and small prey.
They have frequently been seen to swoop
one in each claw. This nest that was broken
up was terror to fiocks.

hausted condition, weary in well-doing,
my hands lacerated and bleeding, but
my heart beating as strongly as ever

Macon, where we completed five tunnels,
several of which were over seventy-fiye
yards in length, the 1000 officers, most

MY LApY's CUFF.
My little lady's snowy cuff

My little lady's snowy cuff
Got loose upon her wrist;
She struggled, in a pretty hun,
To fasten it, and missed;
Vexed, she pulled off the linen tease
And handed It TO me.
GUST put 1t in your pocket, please,
Until we're home" said she.
But, ah what happened at the door
Made cuff and all forgot,
Since had thought for nothing moro
Than Of my happy lot;
Ny little lady's lips were sweet,
Sosweet--no more I'll say;
cannot, it would be unmeet--
She got the cuff next day.

We came, / said, in Jest;
"Give me your cuffs, dear, that / may

And then-I feel the tingie still

FrsHERMAN's LUCK.

We sat together on the shore
One day in leafy June,
Where we had often sat before,
Or walked beneath the moon.
A costly jointed fishing rod
held, while she at ease
Lounged idly on the velvet sod,
Beneath the arching trees.
For hours we sat together there,
Till the red sun sank down;
Then slowly through the cool night air
We sauntered back to town.
No fish had I--not once bite
And yet twas not for naught
We sat there in the shifting light,
For Twas safely caught.

one time no rations were served during
term of three days, our keepers at
tempting to console us by saying that
one of Fosters shells had destroyed
their commissariat.
Charleston at this period was not de-
sirable place of residence for anybody,
for besides the almost constant danger
from fragments of 200-pound shells
which whizzed through the air a
distance of six and seven miles, carrying
death and destruction to the inhabi-
tants,we were surrounded by still
more implacable enemy--yellow fever.
My thoughts weighed heavily upon
me during my imprisonment, but
never so terribly as at Charleston,

But our hearts were gladdened one
evening by rumor that we were to be

Procuring piece Of map from a Ten

carefully-studied journey on CREASED pa
per and went to sleep to dream Of lib
erty, friends and home.
EARLY next morning, 900 officers were
assembled In front of the jail-yard and
quickly started for the depot, no unnec-
essary time being lost In starting, as
none of us had any superfuous baggage
to CHECK" We embarked on dilapidated
box cars, but recently used in the trans.
portation of cattle, whose condition was
far from being pure or wholesome and
which excited comment not entirely fiat
tering to our keepers. In an hour
Charleston and its environs were lost to
our view. The car in which myself and
chosen companions had taken the pre-
caution to embark (the next one to the
caboose, filed with the reserve) was
guarded by sergeant and six armed men
whose acquaintance we lost no time In
cultivating and with whose political
views we, for the nonce, thought 1t wise
to concur. The burden of their song and
hope was that Mcclellan would be elected
President, as to him they looked for q
termination of the war and recognition
of their government.
